Pre-lunch Shenanigans

August 14, 2024 by Kelsi

Working with chimps can be a little loud and even overstimulating at times. That is why when there are quiet moments or sweet interactions, they mustn’t go unnoticed. Those moments can fill our cup up! Jamie’s side of the building has been pretty calm today, while Cy’s side has been making quite the ruckus for some of the morning. It did make for great “TV” for Burrito, but tension on one side can often cause tension on the other. However, Burrito’s side has been pretty easygoing. Jamie has even let individuals like Foxie and Annie have their fruit this morning. The best part of the day so far has been watching Burrito and Missy get so excited for their lunch forage that they had to play and laugh it out, even Jamie and Foxie decided to groom! My cup definitely got filled today :).

Negra watching her noisy neighbors on the Bray in the morning:

    I’m glad that Burrito and Neggie can take amusement at the Reality TV show provided to them by their bumptious neighbors. Neggie’s drooping lower lip and Bubba’s play face speak volumes as they indulge in the guilty pleasure of observing their very own Jerry Springer episode starring Willy, Gordo, and supporting cast.

      I can “see” Neggie thinking:
      ‘What has this neigborhood become? Things used to be much more chimpilized…’

    Bub and Missy certainly prove that age is, indeed, just a number! Their rowdy play sessions can rival any chimp half their age!

    Kelsi, I just loved this video! And your commentary had me giggling as much as much as the silly play. How is it that these guys always brighten my day? Everyday!
